Your course will be reviewed by MS Online director and Outreach associate provost.

Receive an approval or denial email from Missouri State Online.

If approved, proceed to Step 2.

Contact the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning (FCTL) for assistance with course development. They will meet with you to set the timeframe for development. You can participate in a hands-on, one-week course development boot camp or follow a self-paced approach tailored to your schedule.

While developing your course, consider the Intellectual Property Policy Statement,Section I, Paragraph 10: Course content, whether seated, online or blended, shall be owned by the Creator(s) unless the content was developed under a specific agreement or with the use of substantial University resources. (“Creator” refers to an individual or group of individuals who make, conceive, reduce to practice, author, or otherwise make a substantive intellectual contribution to the creation of intellectual property.)

Instructional designers will review the completed courseusing the Online Learning Consortium™ Quality Scorecard (OLC-QS) through the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning (FCTL). If all criteria is successfully fulfilled, you will receive a Certificate of Course Review document.

The payment process will occur after course development is complete and the Instructional Designer has issued the certification document.

Email a copy of your course certification document to MSOnline@MissouriState.edu. Failure to submit this document will delay fund transfers.

Once your certification document is received, MS Online will authorize the transfer of stipend funds to your departmental budget. MS Online will notify your dean, department head, administrative assistant and college budget officer when the fund transfer is complete.

Your department will process a PAF for your stipend payment per standard protocol.

All PAFs should be submitted to the Office of the Provost for payment, not Missouri State Online/Missouri State Outreach.
